Objective Write and evaluate exponential expressions to model growth and decay situations.
Recall, exponential growthoccurs for base b > 1 and a positive exponent. Ex. or or or Pick out the base for each of these Exponential decayoccurs for base 0 < b < 1 and a positive exponent. Ex. or or or Pick out the base for each of these
ALSO, Exponential decayoccurs for base b >1 and a negative exponent. Ex. or or or Pick out the base for each of these This is because using rules of exponents.
Tell whether the function shows growth or decay. g(x) = 100(1.05)x h(x) = 5(1.2)-x
You can model growth or decay by a constant percent increase or decrease with the following formula:
In 2007, the Australian humpback whale population was 350 and increased at a rate of 14% each year since then. How many whales will there be in 2016. A(t) = a(1 +r)t Substitute for A(t), a, and r. Choose + because gaining population. A(9)= 350(1 + 0.14)(9) A(9)= ? Type into calculator exactly how it looks.350(1 + 0.14)(9)
A city population, which was initially 15,500, has been dropping 3% a year. How many people will live in the city in 10 years? A(t) = a(1 – r)t A(10) = 15,500(1 – 0.03)10 A(t) = ?
Use mental math to evaluate. 1. 4–3 2. 2 because this means 3.10–2 4.
Objectives Write equivalent forms for exponential and logarithmic functions. Evaluatelogarithmic functions.
Vocabulary logarithm common logarithm logarithmic function
Reading Math Read logby=x, as “the log base b of yis x.” Notice that the log is the exponent. The answer to a logarithm is the exponent. You can write an exponential equation as a logarithmic equation and vice versa. so log28=3 and sologby=x
1 1 log6 = –1 6 6 1 1 2 log255 = 2 Write each exponential equation in logarithmic form. log3243 = 5 log1010,000 = 4 logac =b
1 1 3 3 8 = 2 1 4–2 = 16 Write each logarithmic form in exponential equation. 91 = 9 29 = 512 1 16 b0 = 1
A logarithm is an exponent, so the rules for exponents also apply to logarithms.
A common logarithm has abase of 10. If no base is written for a logarithm, the base is assumed to be 10. For example, log 5 = log105.
Evaluate by using mental math. log5 125 5?= 125 The log is the exponent. 53= 125 Think: What power of 5 is 125? log5125 = 3
1 1 1 5 5 5 5?= 5–1= 1 log5 = –1 1 5 5 Evaluate by using mental math. log5 The log is the exponent. Think: What power of 5 is ?
